An armed ex-con was on an elevator with President Barack Obama while the president was in Atlanta in September to visit the CDC to discuss the Ebola outbreak, the Washington Post and Washington Examiner reported Tuesday. The man was reportedly a security contractor with a gun and three prior convictions and would reportedly not stop using a camera phone to take video of Obama. A supervisor with the private security firm then fired the man on the spot and told him to turn over his gun — the first time the agents realized he had a weapon. The reported event is just the latest to trigger scrutiny of the Secret Service.
